We don't hear much talk about quantum computing and AI, is this because general purpose QP is considered unrealistic? Another interesting aspect in the podcast is that "doctors can't be replaced because they are able to interact with a patient", yet boston dynamics have shown us some pretty interesting progress in robotics, and we have some pretty amazing imaging and recognition software. The final thing I find interesting that people often refute on is that there isn't access to a good training set on humanity to start to understand us, well, I'd suggest that the WWW is an good collection of human knowledge.
